Visual Interview - Process: Mock ups!


I decided to go for a decorative style that references Victorian textiles. I believe this connects very well to the world of fashion which Mercedes likes so much. I consulted with my client and she seems to like it very much; which leads me to believe that so far I am fulfilling the objective of reflecting the personality of my client. Back its still based on the expressionism showcasing a photo of Mercedes admiring the Water Lilies, I decided to keep just one photo to avoid making the whole peace overall from being to crowded.

The Set - Outcomes

This was a challenging project in many aspects. Troubleshooting for the construction of the beams proved to be the hardest feat. But our group pulled it to together and I am confident in our piece. Besides some craft issues I believe our concept is strong and our idea is direct.

The Set - Progress


Some progress we made on the project was developing the steel tubes into a trapezoidal shape that connotes a sense of uniqueness that our school has. Some development on the keynote was done and we hope to get supplies for the 3D model and all the images prepared for the poster.



The Set - Final Proposal

We refined and came up with a solid plan that we want to take on. Here are some revisions to our project plan;
Context:

Typeface Specimen Book - Derick Lopez


Mainly, I just did some edits; I focused more in the way the lay out of the pages stays cohesive between them.  Also tried to make the cover be better related to the contents of the book. I made some small adjustments of some of the elements as well.









And a couple extra covers

Visual Interview - Mercedes: Concept and Sketches

Since Mercedes is a person of many disciplines, faces and perspectives, I wanted to divide the two sides of the fold into two different worlds. On the front the images of her life as a student, her professional desires and aspirations as well as remarking her passion for sophistication and fashion. Two holes will be cut out in panels 1 and 4 that will show an abstract and unidentifiable part of the fold. This serves the purpose of remarking Mercedes thoughts on "showing others the hidden beauty of many things". Son once they pass onto the back side of the fold they can see a different world, based on her influence from the renaissance; this side will focus on Mercedes personal desires, like reading, listening and/or playing to music,etc.
